The second notice, reported just 15 minutes ago, reports of issues with incorrect tweet counts.

Steve Jobs WWDCIt was no surprise that the web would erupt during the opening day of this year's WWDC. I'm most certainly not the biggest Apple fanboy, but the buzz was most certainly just. I was fortunate enough to follow all of the event via live blog (gdgt and Engadget were certainly best) as it happened. And wow was my notes doc full. There is plenty of great info out there recapping the day, so I figured I would instead account for the impact WWDC made around the web. I saved some screenshots from Google Trends, Twitter, etc. which started in the afternoon and went into the late evening EST. For the most part the results remain the same across the board until they started to die down late last night. Here is a list of 10 (although there were more) words/phrases which trended around the web and some of the screenshots. Enjoy!

amvonaSo as you know Amvona.com will now be completely devoted to the blog, but that doesn’t mean we’ve stopped caring about our community of readers. I know there maybe some photographers out there asking what's next for them specifically. Well, beginning today we are going to start excepting user submitted photographer profiles (see what to send below) for a new idea called Photographer Shout Out. As the name implies, I want to highlight a handful of photographers for inclusion with our other areas of news coverage.
